I bottled and placed my beer in the garage. I was afraid that it might explode in the house and that is the reason for using the garage. My garage is cool and I am hoping that the carbonation period will be somewhat longer which is no big problem. Should I place it in the house or how...

OK, sounds good. Thanks for the quick replies.

Just so I am correct in doing this...boil a cup of water, add the required amount of corn sugar and then ADD this to my beer before bottling? Thanks

I used corn sugar in my batch of beer to ferment it. I am ready to bottle it and am wondering if I should use corn sugar or regular granulated sugar. I was going to try dissolving the sugar in some water but have changed my mind as this is my first batch. TIA

The kit recipe I am following says to add '2 level teaspoons of sugar to a 2 litre bottle'. If I want stronger beer, do I add more sugar and how much or will it be too sweet? Am I better off adding corn sugar rather than granulated sugar? Thanks for all the help..it is a great forum and I...

Thanks for the links/videos. It is a Canadian Lager. Bads197 is scaring me now with his comment about the sugar. Another recipe called for 7 cups of sugar whereas I put in five only. If I understand it right, the more sugar you add, the stronger the beer. I'm hoping for a beer around the...

Thanks for the quick replies. The Black Rock malt extract is a 1.5kg (3.3#) can and does not say 'pre hopped' on it. The beer making store employee told me I had everything to make the beer and did not mention hops to me. Do I have to make a trip back to the store for hops??? Here are the...

I have all the ingredients for my first batch and want to be sure I understand everything. I bought the light Black Rock (NZ) malt extract. I bought all my supplies seperate and did not buy a kit. The instructions off the net said to boil 7 litres of water and then add the extract and let...
